..and there goes the sales uptake on raceboards! Seriously, I too am dissapointed to hear this, i know a lot of folks were gearing up for the event.

Not necessarily, I think kite racing will continue to boom. In fact I think it will do better now that people know that there aren't going to be a bunch of boof-heads taking every race so seriously. I am not talking about the few that are really talented and exceptionally good, I'm sure you know the kinds of people I mean.

I am going to buy a race board in January ready for our next kiting season. My initial comment does sound a bit inconsiderate to those good people that had their hopes up, so to them, my condolences.
